Jason,

Does anything show up in your /var/log/messages file about the dialin attempt?

I have setup SME 5.1.2 with the dialin RPM's specified by Daniel van Raay. The server will accept a connection, but drops the call for some reason. When I check the log file this is what I find:

May 17 12:51:55 inbound mgetty[10601]: init chat failed, exiting...: Interrupted system call
May 17 12:51:55 inbound mgetty[10601]: failed in mg_init_data, dev=ttyS0, pid=10601
May 17 12:52:40 inbound mgetty[10602]: init chat failed, exiting...: Interrupted system call
May 17 12:52:40 inbound mgetty[10602]: failed in mg_init_data, dev=ttyS0, pid=10602

Any help would be appreciated.

I had similar problems.  After installing per the HowTo I did the following:

I started with a fresh install of 5.1.2.
192.168.13.251 internal interface, 192.168.0.128 external interface

installed mgetty
installed dialin
enabled a user  (via web panel)
turned on dialin (via web panel)
created a modem S0 192.168.1.11 (via web panel)

added mgetty entry for inittab:

/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/inittab/59dialin

#dialin
S0:23457:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS0 -D ttyS0

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/inittab


added options.ttyS0

/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/ppp/options.ttyS0/10ip

192.168.13.220:192.168.1.11

reboot

dialed in, and it worked.

*Added 192.168.1 as a local network so I could access the server manager.

Hope this helps.  Jim

oops!  forgot something.  You'll need to expand that ttyS0.options file:

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/ppp/options.ttyS0

before you reboot.

Actually, forget my previous posts. The firewall rules get screwed up.  I'll start over and post if I figure anything out.
